We all keep running, mile after mile, toward something, and often we cannot fully explain why.

We tell ourselves that we are chasing goals, pursuing dreams, and building a better life. That is true. But there is also something deeper in it. Part of the reason we keep moving is that stopping forces us to face too much at once. Motion gives us direction, but it also gives us escape.

Still, that does not make the struggle false. It makes it human.

We all want to live a meaningful, purposeful, creative, and successful life. That desire is real. The pressure we feel is real. The confusion we carry is real. Even when we cannot explain everything clearly, the struggle itself is still real.

The important thing is to become conscious of it. Once we do, we stop treating our struggle like a weakness or a private defect. We begin to see it as part of the human condition, and from there, we can carry it with more honesty and strength.

"Look to the end, no matter what it is you are considering. Often enough god gives man a glimpse of happiness and utterly ruins him."

-The Histories, Herodotus, Fifth Century

Unhappy endings are much more common than happy ones, yet we are overwhelmed by the happy endings in our mind. If we have clear and far thinking, we will understand that the future is uncertain and we must be open to adaptation. Proper planning all the way to the end is necessary in order to get victory. Our plans doesn't work in most of the cases because they are too vague and open ended. When we are in the process of striking a massive success, we should not lose our head over a vague, open-ended dream but plan to the end.

The ending is everything. It is the end of the action that determines who gets the glory, the power or the success. Our conclusion must be crystal clear, and must be constantly alive in our mind. Planning all the way to the end makes us self-aware of every action we take and we are not trapped and captivated by any sorts of adversities and heartbreaks. When each of our plans get succeed we get motivated to act on our other plans and lo and behold we can finally grab our ultimate dream.

The biggest challenge in the process of achieving dream is to know when to stop. The solution to this challenge is by planning all the way to the conclusion. We should know when to stop while we are in the mission of achieving great success because the person who goes to far in his triumphs creates a reaction that inevitably leads to decline.  There is a simple reason why most people fall after massive success- they form no concrete idea of their goal, once they achieve victory they become hungry for more. That's a true disaster! To foresee future we should have a concrete plan all the way to the end of our goals.

When we see several steps ahead, and plan all our moves all the way to the end, we will no longer be tempted by the desire to improvise. Our clarity will rid us from the anxieties and uncertainties that are the primary reason why so many fail to conclude their actions successfully.

Nelson Mandela is a particular case study in leadership world because he is universally regarded as a great leader. Depending on the nation various people have different opinion about leadership, but Mandela is regarded as great leader across the world. He was asked by the reporter how did he learned to be a great leader. He was actually the son of tribal chief. He responded that he used to go in a tribal meeting with his father and he remembers two things from those meetings:

1. They used to sit in circle
2. His father was always the last to speak.

Being last to speak is one of the crucial part of leadership world. This gives everybody else the feeling that they have contributed to the meetings or the project and you can hear other opinions before rendering your own.

Ever since I am aware of this I'm executing on self-discovery because self-discover is the key of stratospheric success. Here are some tips for successful business. But before that we should know that business is like a child, it takes time to grow. The reason most people fail to achieve success in business is simply that they fail to re-invest continually in the business.

Successful Business Steps: By Robert Kiyosaki

1. Build a Business
2. Invest in your Business
3. Re-invest
4. Invest in real estate
5. Let your assets buy your Luxuries

It is not important to have a clear idea of your business; you just have to start and your result will show the way. It is all about experimentation; our actions are our experiments, the results are our data. Improving our data is the way we advance in this modern world. You should keep experimenting new procedures and new techniques But you should not give up. Building a successful business takes enormous amount of time and hard-work. (See Re-defining Success). You should have to be perfect; nobody is, but you should work because it is only the most controllable thing. In fact, at the end, the greatest realization is we are always in the process of approaching perfection without actually being perfect. This is how it works.

Affirmations for power and confidence

Thoughts create words, words are the vehicle of ideas that drive us towards any sorts of actions. The thought that we express through words can shape our life. It sounds ridiculous, but believe me or not it can really transform our life. Mind is actually the state of constant thinking. By thoughts and belief, the things are brought to us and by constantly affirming it we can receive it. That is why there is a saying, "No man gives to himself but himself and no man takes away from himself, but himself."

Here are some affirmation that can help to build power and enhance confidence:

1. None of these things move me.
2. The powerful and vital energy of cosmos is filling my mind, body and spirit.
3. I take pride in my ability to make worthwhile contributions to the world.
4. I stay out of my comfort zone with courage and confidence.
5. I think big, I dream big and I'm getting big.
6. I feel strong, confident excited and powerful.
7. My courage is stronger than my fear.
8. I have the power to create all the success and prosperity I desire.
9. I believe every step I take will feed my destiny.
10. I believe in myself and my ability to succeed.
11. I trust my intuition and I'm guided to take wise decisions..
12. I'm a success magnet.

These 12 affirmations can bring more power and confidence if affirmed daily with kindness and deep gratitude in sub-conscious.

Detachment is often mistaken for emotional coldness or withdrawal. But indifference is apathy—detachment is clarity. Indifference says, “I don’t care.” Detachment says, “I care, but I am not owned by the outcome.” One disconnects from life; the other engages fully without being enslaved by it.

Attachment turns desire into dependency. When we attach, we silently declare: I need this to go my way in order to be at peace. That is where fear begins—fear of loss, rejection, failure, insignificance. The tighter the grip, the greater the anxiety. But detachment loosens the grip without abandoning the goal. You can strive for success without tying your identity to it. You can love someone without trying to control them. You can pursue wealth without worshiping it.

There is a Hindu saying: Detachment is not that you own nothing, but that nothing owns you. This is the distinction. Ownership is external; bondage is internal. You may possess things, roles, relationships, ambitions—but when your peace depends on them, they possess you. Detachment restores hierarchy: you act, you build, you love—but your center remains stable.

Detachment does not reduce passion—it refines it. It replaces desperation with discipline. When you are detached, you prepare fully, act deliberately, and accept outcomes without collapse. You do not lose ambition. You lose panic. And in losing p

"Everything popular is wrong."

Oscar Wilde

The reality about life is it’s a single player game. We're born alone. We're going to die alone. All of our pains are alone, all of our memories are alone. Nobody cares about our problem. It’s all single player-game. And It’s all about mind game, which has one rule and one rule only and that is work. The thing that is guaranteed is our work ethic. We hear lots of advice from motivational gurus and society, colleagues and institutions and we employ those in our real life, but we still struggle for success, fulfillment and happiness. The reason behind that is all of them are wrong. "Everything popular is wrong." This quote has captivated me so deep that I have been applying this in my real life and career life, and I'm getting positive result

1.Billionaires and Millionaires:

It's popular that most of the billionaires are a college dropout. But the true thing is they weren't actually a college dropout. Their story and the fact show that they first took a semester off to invest in their dream and when they felt that they have been improving and again took another semester off and another and another till their dream became reality. So, don't believe the crowd instead get out of them.

2. Education is what gives you a successful life:

We often hear same responses from our society and teachers that we have to go to college complete a degree and get a good job to secure our future and live a successful and fulfilling life. We are just born in this world and people are like learn your nursery rhymes, learn your ABC's…, learn 123’s…, go to school, learn geography, learn history, learn science, learn periodic tables… Why? When are we ever going to use periodic table again? I still remember those days in my chemistry class learning periodic table which I haven’t used in my real life. But the simple things about life basic skills, we are not taught. So, how can we expect a fulfilling and successful life without even learning life’s basic skills.

3. Fallacy of motivation:

I don’t believe in ‘Motivation’ because we are captivated by the popular belief that our action is the effect of motivation. It’s not. In fact, it's all the way around. Action is the cause of motivation. Our concept of motivation is:

Inspiration            Motivation                Action (False Belief)

Real motivation does not come from external environment, it generates from inner self. First, we have to focus on the thing that is in our control and that is our ACTION. Each action should motivate us. If we fail, we got to learn from failure and make the next action with strong foundation. So, our action should not be because of motivation, instead our action should generate motivation for our next action. Hence, the real belief should be:

Action                      Inspiration                     Motivation             Action

This is how we advance in the world.

4. Happiness is the end game.

Most people pursue happiness because they think that is their end goals. But I believe we should not pursue happiness but instead we should concentrate on the things that truly matters and the result is- we start to create the lifestyle we actually love because we invested into the people and the things that actually matters and the by-product of that is happiness. Don't pursue happiness! Pursue a lifestyle where the by-product of that life style is happiness. So, happiness comes with a by-product. If you focus on happiness, you will end up getting unhappy.

.......And then you die:

What mark you wanna leave to the world? What would be your legacy? This is arguably the only truly important question in our life, yet we avoid it because, A. it's hard, B. we are afraid of failure, and C. we have no fucking clue what are we doing.

The solutions?

Start loving the game, accept the failure in fact love it with passion because battle scars are beautiful.

Every single person is born genius; they dream big. Dreaming without any hard-work is just a wish and wishes only gives us the illusion of success without never perceiving and achieving it. If you dream of getting rich you should be willing to do enormous amount of hard-work.  Without any determination and perseverance it is obvious that you will remain poor. So stop wishing and start working. The interesting thing is there is no single person in the earth who have achieved enormous success without working right of their face. Focus on your dream, plan, execute, hold on it with unwavering faith, associate with right people who can help you achieve your dream, learn from failure, execute again.

The book Millionaire Next Door is a thoroughly researched book about the live of various multi-millionaire in the United States. Through the research, some common points among all of these multi-millionaires were deduced. Becoming a multi-millionaire takes a lot of risk, hard work and patience. Nobody in the world has become successful without working right off their face except those who have the generational wealth.

These are some observation from The Millionaire Next Door:

1. Millionaires Save:  Millionaires have the discipline of saving exceptional amount of their income. Millionaires save 40% of their gross income. Let’s face it: If you are making $40,000, and you save $12,000(40 % of 40000) and $12000 goes to IRS, and you spend remaining $6000 for living, then in 10 years you have saved 1.2 million. You become millionaire in 10 years. According to the research, most American save 4% of their income.
2. Millionaires are frugal:  Of course, if they save money they are frugal with some exceptions for sure. They have accumulated wealth not by spending the money they have earned.
3. Millionaires drive frugally:  Most millionaires drive cars for long time. They don’t typically buy car in two or three years. Most commonly they drive same cars for more than 10 years. They always focus on storing their money.
4. Millionaires live frugally:  Basically, millionaires live in the home that represents only 10% of their net worth. This sounds implausible; but this is what the research shows. By living in modest homes, they put themselves in a position to compare their spending to people who generally have much less money and thus feel less social pressure to spend extravagantly on their clothes, cars and vacations.
5. Millionaires are entrepreneurs:  Most of the millionaire own business. Their business may not make good money but that becomes good assets over the period of time. Their business generates robotic amount of money that means it works 24 hours and 365 days (which only robots can do).

Therefore, if you are already living frugal life, you have started living millionaire’s life. You can easily turn $1000 saving account into $1 million for 40 years. But the challenge is to be wealthy not only rich. Rich is having money, but wealth is having money and time.  So, storing money will help you become rich not wealthy. In order to be wealthy and retire as a multi-millionaire, you have to seek for the vehicle that can multiply your stored money (40% of your gross income). By brilliantly investing your stored money, you not only increase your net worth but also decrease your time to become multi-millionaire. The goal is: Don’t lose money, save it, invest it, make lots of passive flow of income. But as mentioned above making such enormous amount of wealth requires lots of hard work, patience and discipline, living frugally, saving constantly, and investing intelligently.

Have you ever heard of The Domino Effect? If you have heard then, have you ever implied that in real life. You will see amazing result if you connect this physics into your real life. So, let me connect this to the real life. All great things have small beginnings. Every masterpiece has its first brushstroke, every building has its first brick and every life has its first breath. The same rule is true for nearly every aspect of our world and our personal success in no exception.

On its own, a domino isn’t much. It’s about two inches tall and weighs about as much as a small box of matches. But when the domino is applied with a force, In fact, one domino has the capability of knocking down another one that is 1.5 times its size. This seemingly infinitesimal ability compounds to produce incredible outcomes. If the first domino is given the force then it will knockout all other that is 1.5 times its size .

Imagine a long string of domino lining one after the other with each one 1.5 times larger than the last one. The first domino is only 2 inch tall, second  will be 1.5 times the first i.e 3 inch. Like wise the tenth domino will be equal to the size of “Leaning Tower of Pisa”. If you give small force to the first domino, then this will have power to knockout “Leaning tower of Pisa” after 18 times. At 23 you can knockout, ‘Eiffel Tower”. Starting with the 2 inch tall small domino, at 31 times this small domino, you will accomplish the height equal to the Mt. Everest. And by the 57th iteration, this 2 inch block produce enough force to knock over a domino stretching the distance between to moon. This means you can achieve your every goals no matter how massive it is.

It may be tough to swallow, but big success doesn’t happen all at once. Success is a process, a journey. It is sequential. Everything starts with the way of thinking. Your thought may make you or break you. You, and  alone you have the power to make your dreams happen.

So set small goals as the size of 1st domino of your final goal. Give your effort to accomplish that small goal. Instead of trying to do everything at once, it’s more productive to take smaller steps. When a large goal is broken down into several smaller pieces, even the most audacious goal can be accomplished.

I recommend you all to use this billion dollar mindset to help you identify the steps you need to take to get what you want out of your life. The first thing you need is your vision towards the final goal. Set small goals that will lead you towards that final goal. Give your energy, be determined towards that.

APPLY THE DOMINO EFFECT IN YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS

Take a look at an aspect of your business or life. What’s the first domino you need to topple for extraordinary results? In other words, what is the most important thing that will bring the best results in this particular area of life or business and make other things easier or unnecessary?

Define this one thing and focus on that until it is done. Incremental improvements each day will bring amazing results over time.
